Idle Time

Good morning all, I just decided to get a little idle this morning. Had to do the legal thing yesterday at the Tax man's abode. Stood 2 hours in line at the Tax Office to get the car licenced. Paid out $2000.00 of hard earned money just so that Babylon don't hold down black man. Imperialism at its best. When I reached the cashier he says, and I quote "Yuh know yuh coulda leave it till month end becuz yuh get 1 month grace". At that point mi coulda lick im dung. Apparently it expired at the end of February and not January as I had thought. Never even looked at the disc I just took wifey's word that the grace period had expired. Anyways, at least I won't have to worry about it again until August. Standing in line for 2 hours not really that nice though. My plants are doing well. I had three flowers this morning. Place looks better yuh see. Class last night was quite.....hmmmmm errrr how do we say this now?....different. We had an art exhibition. The head of the Art Centre on campus brought some art works and was educating us on how to identify media and category and provide description on paintings. She was certainly enthusiastic about her art. My awareness and appreciation is growing. Can't promise you that I'll go out and buy any anytime soon...I ain't that converted. Here is a bit of idleness for you today: A married couple was on holiday in Jamaica. They were touring around the marketplace looking at the goods and such when they passed this small sandal shop From inside they heard the shopkeeper with a Jamaican accent say, "You foreigners! Come in. Come into my humble shop!" So the couple walked in "I have some special sandals I think you would be interested in," the Jamaican said to them. "Dey make you wild at sex." Well, the wife was really interested in buying the sandals after what the man claimed, but her husband felt he really didn't need them, being the "sex god" that he was. "How could sandals make you into a sexfreak?" the husband asked the shopkeeper. "Just try dem on, Mon," the Jamaican replied. After some badgering from his wife, the man finally gave in and tried the sandals on. As soon as he slipped them onto his feet, he got this wild look in his eyes ... something his wife hadn't seen in years! In the blink of an eye, the husband grabbed the Jamaican, quickly bent him over a table, yanked down his pants, ripped down his own pants and grabbed a firm hold of the Jamaican's hips. At which point the Jamaican began screaming, "YOU GOT DEM ON DE WRONG FOOT, MON! YOU GOT DEM ON DE WRONG FOOT!"

ha ha ha love the joke..but wait why yuh have to go back the de tax man in Aug? Wha happen tu one yr renewals.

Scratchie said...

Yes Sunshine they wring the money out of you and torture while you pay.
Camp, One year renewals are there but it comes at 1 year prices. It kinda steep to dig out $4000.00 for a sticker.

Just a tip Scratchie ... NEVER go to the tax office on a month end. The best time to go is anywhere after the 5th of the month to about the 15th ... in there is empty that time ... wait time ... max 15 minutes.

Good laugh too.

I had heard that one before, Sir Scratchie, but it was good same way! Keep them coming. Like the Doc, I always found that the credit card line was the shortestone still. Also, Srcratchie, Doc, Yamfoot, Fyr, Strainer, and Owen... Your assignment (each of you) for tomorrow is to write a good letter to the Gleaner telling that eediat of a Information Minister Paulwell that he must have a little meeting with the woman who runs the RGD and pick her brain as to how to set the Gov't up to process credit card payments online and start to take tax payments over the web... = no more lines! Hell, you can give him my name too... if they raise the GCT pon gas, they might be able to afford to pay me to come back there for a short project to set something like that up! I think thats a great idea! :)
